i complain
when nothing’s even wrong
and you’re ashamed
cause you’re not quite that strong
that’s when i said i’ll need
more than you can offer me
i miss your face as you can tell
i hope my absence makes you well
cause what i didn’t know
is i was killing you
i said a lot of things that i didn’t mean to
but i am older now
and i am sorry too
so i can wait awhile
if it brings me back to you
i am shy
i never speak a word
and you are numb
from all the things you never heard
that’s when i said i’ll need
more than you can offer me
but now i own an empty space
and i can’t fill it with your face
cause what i didn’t know
is i was killing you
i said a lot of things that i didn’t mean to
but i am older now
and i believe in you
so i can wait awhile
if it brings me back to you
